I dont know the political angle. But if the DVDs and Blurays still keeping rolling under Paramount for WB Archives, I want Paramount to get it. It's super unlikely that Netflix will let the WB Archive live with physical media.

I mean, the way things are going, it's unlikely in both the cases. But I would get more time to collect everything I want by then with Paramount. Also, under Paramount WB Archive would be in the spotlight far more than under Netflix.

Ellison wants WBD for the TV networks, including CNN.

I don’t think they want the film division but the vast number of cable channels that Discovery owns. Giving them a rather large control of the American mind share.

What is the difference between bits on a Blu-ray vs on a drive platter?
